Scott's Tactics. An Interview witk Ute JEx (rjjovcriior. What Scott Has t) Suy to an Ohio Ro |iorter?lie Proposes to ItBtaroi to tho I'nl metis -State. : 35x Governor lv. K. Scott, who is in Na.poleon, Ohi >, has been interview ed by a reporter fcr the Toledo Sun day Journal, and thus delivers him self-: "I -Suppose, "Governor, that yon arc about .prepared to make this .place your home again ?'v [ "Xo, sir, South Carolina is my home?'it is the only homo I have. I like her people, and ha?re 'identified my interests and myself with them. I have no intention of removing." "WOiiiL have you to say ot Hayes' 'po-icy,"* and of the administration of 1 lamptott ?*' 'TIayiis has adopted tho policy for who h I hoped and looked over since hSTO. 1 indicated that policy in .several public eonwnunientiuns and addresses?tor instance,-in an address dclivcicd nt Jenkitisvi le, o.t the 4th ? if duly, l?S7d; alto in a letter to Liiut. Gov. Gleaves, in 1875 and you certainly remember the address which 1 delivered at th'.s place in July, l?T?, uii the occasion of th<e reunion of my old regiment. Don't you remember the little hell which the Radical Republicans raised about it at the time? Here is what i said in conclusion : '1-ict m? forget that there has been a war. Let its oblite rate every evidence that remains of the strifi , ami meet on a common platform of truth and justice, with t ho love of a common country ns a bond of union, that shall unite us and our posterity for all future time.'" "And what of Hampton?" "1 have never had confidence in a government; largely controlled by a population just disenthralled from slavery. The persons to successfully govern an intelligent people, such ns ours, must themselves be educated and intelligent. The educated white people of (he South wotdd have ob tained control of tho State Govern ments long before this, had their pre indices been less bitter and the hatreds growing out of,the war less intense; and had they adopted the situation and pursued the policy which (lamp ton did last fall. Tho policy which Hayes has adopted will return pros perity to the South; the Government of Hampton will inspire confidence, ns it will be honestly and faithfully administered." "What effect will this policy have in tho future upon the political organizations of tho South?will Democrats leavo their organization and jiue the gang' with Stau ley ?" "1 think not. There may be di visions in the Democratic parly, but they will be upon men, and purely local?in national politics, or, rather in political organizations, Democrats will remain loyal to their party. It is true that more charity, if I may so call it, will bo entertained for the Republican party, ami more confi dence reposed in it; but the 'policy,' ns it is called, is in the South espe cially, regarded as tho offspring of the Democratic parly, which party, (aided by Conservative Republican, forced recognition from the adminis tration. Tho negro clement, the main support of the Republican party , will 1 e largely controlled by the Democrats hereafter, and the colored vote will be cast more for men than for party. Heretofore tlt3 attach ment and devotion of that race to the Republicans was owing largely to tho fear entertained that the success of the Democratic party would result in an abridgment of the rights of citizen ship. The course of Hampton dis pels this apprehension. Hampton is honestly carrying out the promises which he made during the campaign. He has already appointed inoro color ed men to office than were appointed during the entire two first years that I was'Governor, which were the first of reconstruction " "And what do you think will bo ?the future of the colored race in the Sou'th?" "I think that they will rjuietly and ipeaccably enjoy all civil rights as guaranteed to all other ci tizens. I believe, however, that an apprecia tion ofthcir own good and advantage will gradually eliminate thorn from ?sit least nu active partioipati on in 'pp/litias. They are a race very easily ?controlled. Labor is their field of ?usefulness, and they are especially ?suited to the fields and the climato of ?the South. It was a mistake to draw ?them prominently into pariisau poli tics?tho white man (a fact which must bo conceded,) being the super ior, will never consent to be goverued by an iuferior." "If, as I understand you, ihe Dcmo cratie party will grjw stronger in the South by acquisitions from ihe color ed vote; what say you as to nu ex Con federate for the next President, which will probably be urged by the South ?'? "I tldnk that the peoplo of both the North and the South could support a man like Hampton with po&fect con sistency, and without the surrender of a particle of principle, and no more compromise of honor than a Confederate makes in the support of a Northern man. The causes which led to the war grew out of our politi cal system?the Haiuiltoniau and deflersonian ideas of government? consolidation and State sovereignty, State rights; in a word, Hampton be lieves in the teachings of Calhouu, and that he owed his first allegiance t > Iiis own S.a'.e?the people of the North believed otherwise, and tho conflict came. The disagreement has I become accord. Before the outbreak, as is well known, Hampton was a Uuiun man?he is now as loyal as any citizen in the country, and at the head of tho government, would administer its affairs us honestly, as ably, and as faithfully as any states man of the North possibly could do. Looking at tho country in the light of the recent strikes, it seems to me that the most reliable conservative men will be found in the South. There the relation of capital and la bor is best understood, and the most respect entertained * for each other. Tho South also possesses within her self the means of suppressing every thing tendiug to communism. When the lolly of the government in disfran chising citi/eus on account of their political opinions is fully appreciated, then there will ho nothing more to prevent a Union soldier voting for a Confederate, than there now is to re strain a Southerner from vuiing for a man from the North." "Excuse my curiosity, but what have you to enyof the prosecutions now pending 11 gainst .Moses and others?" "Jt is a delicate subject for .tic to tulle about. I consider the prosecu tions unwise. They are the result of the political complications growing out of the war," "How with the Federal officers in the South ?" "The Federal, especially the reve nue (dliecrs, should bo taken from the natives. Many of the lower clas.--.es havo been in (he habit of distilling their surplus slock; they cannot be made to understand or appreciate tho revenue Jaws?theyaro like tho Irish and tha English?und the Northern men sent down therei ?fe more dis posed to arrest and annoy than to in struct and benefit the ro-tenue* The government of the Sotijh is now safe in the hands of tlio?e to \*^r?<ji it pro perly belong1.', and it jtjSg he much more honestly administered than it will by mere adventurer.; from the North." m " Who, Governor, do yVi think will bo the next United Staler; Senator ? Corbin or Butler ?" ? "It is difficult to 8tajft who will be ?Senator?as to who shout I be, thcro cau' ho no question. Sutler is tho choice of tho South, ^t^ho persons who composed what wfc claimed to he a Legislature, which- ulecte 1 Cor bin, were never elected, 'and it has so been declared.

Years ago she was pure and happy. It was only one false step at first, but years of misery have followed. May God show mercy to the fallen one. Only one ghus more. The thirst cannot be quenched. Dowu, down the victim goes, saying :'Only one glass more.' Hundreds of ruined families and broken hearted mothers the world over can tell tho rest of that sail story. Chemists tell us that only one grain of iodine imparts color to seven thous and times its weight of water. So iu our lives things that seem only noth ing at the time?a misspent Sabbath, a broken promise, careiess word even ?oftentimes give color to events of infinite importance. tiod grant us graco to comprehend the vastness of the brief word on ly, ere it be too late. Blow Youit Own Horn.?Blow your own horn. Yes, give it a blast, and let modesty blush if it will. This false delicacy has been the stumbling block ol thousands of really good and capable men. Make a noise it will attract coniebody. Let the world know that you arealivo and intend to drive things until you get to the top of the hill and make a fortune. To the man of energy and perseveranco mountains are but mole hills. 'Tis only tho drones that fail. They are always looking ou tho black sido, predicting disasters, altt ays complain ing of tho hard times, always waiting for something to turn up. Such men never will find good times nor pros perity. Neither will they ever find friends or admirers among tho first class business men. If you would succeed in anything, don't stand still. 0o ahead, Don't be afraid. Do some thing.

It. was lhe wild midnight. The fame midnight was oft'watch and had gone to bed three hours before. A storm brooded over the eastern heav ens. It \va* a thoroughbred brood storm. Hopbrewed, lor it was com ing from the yeast. Hawkoye creek was rolling tumultuously in its sail ly bed. A lithe form cowered at the gar leu gate. Many a manly form has been coward at just such gates, ever since .summer nights and gnats und beauty and love and June hugs were invented. 'He does not come,' she murmured, softly, as she peered into she dark ness. 'I cannot .sec him. I will etil him.' She was wrong. If she couldu'tsec him, she ccr-ainly couldn't call hint with the same hand. A manly step came scraping down the sidewalk. It was Desmond. She. threw open the gat?, and the next instant he clasp.}.', in his great, strong arms twenty-seven yards of foulard, three yards of-aching, seven dozen Breton buttons and a Pompa dour panier as big as a doghouse. It was all his own. 'All is lost,'he exclaimed. 'Con stance do Hclvidero, the Russians have crossed the Balkans. Wo must lly.' Constance was a noble girl. She only said: 'Whither shall wo fly ?' lie. wanted to fly to some lone de sert isle, but she submitted an atiuud iuctit providing that they should fly tu the ice-cream saloon.

Her brow lightened tip wi th a ray of celestial intelli g > t tie. '1 see,' she said, tapping i hr? em ply plate with her spoon. 'Too cold. Signed C. Morion*.' He denied it bi'lorly. an I b ide her remain where she was while he set tled with tlit- man. She, guided by the linen iii? in stinct of her s?x, peeped through the curtains of the sahnh.

She saw him lock ihe door, takeout the key, put it in bis picket and lean up ngain.-t I he door. She saw her own Desmond draw from bis own pockets and pile up on the coun ter a pearl-handle pocket-knife; six nickels, four green postage-stamp*, a watch-key, two lend pencils, a memnraniIuni-book, a theater lit ket (of the variety denomination), a pock et comb, an ivory toothpick, a shirt stud, one sleeve-button, a photograph of hei.se! f, a package of trix, two street-car checks, a card with a funny story on it, a silk handkerchief and a pair of gloves. And then she knew that Dosmond was a bankrupt, and when Lite man swept the assets of the concern into a drawer and opened the door she sobbed convulsively: ' And it wa.-t mine ?xtravagariccwinch hath did tins thing.' They did not talk much on their way homo. Or.cc she had asked him if he was rich, and he only said : ' -1 norinouslv.' Such is late. ? /Jurlhij/ioii IEwJmi/h. Something i;f (ho Bed. Judge Pitman has a habit of slip ping his watcli under his pillow when lie go'ei to bed. The other night some how it slipped down, as the Judge was restless, it gtadual!v worked its" way down ward toward the foot of tho bed. Alter a b t, while ho was laying awake, his foot touched it, it felt very cohl. He Was surprised and scircd, and, jumping from bed, he said : 'By gracious, Maria! there's a toad or snake or something under the cover. 1 touched it with my foot.' Mr1. Pitman, gave a Ion. 1 scream, and was out en the floor in an instant. 'Now, don't go to hollering and wake up tho neighbors,' said tho .Judge, 'You go and get me a broom or something, and ive'd lix the thing mighty quick,' Mrs. Pilium. got the brouu and gave it to the Judge, with the re mark that she felt as if snakes were creeping ail up and down her back. '?, nonsense, Maria'. Now you turn down the cover slowly, while I hold the broom ami bang it. Put a bucket .if water-along side the bed, too, so.'s we can shove it in and drown it.' Mis.
